You are NOT grinding like some of is. Get the hell of your high horse. I doubt there's many on here that work harder than I do so its an insult to have lazy people try to talk about work ethic.



Mind your own business and carry your own load. I'm tired of carrying it WHILE being criticiced. Get the hell off.
Um, what?

I can't figure out what you're trying to say here, or even to whom it is directed... but there are tons of hard working and/or successful pot smokers, just as there are plenty you could call lazy. Same can be said for non-smokers, right? So I fail to see your point, and might even be reading this backwards. LOL

I've explained why many times. Why post it yet again; it would be boring. Do some research on other threads on the same subject.

Yes.

All currently controlled drugs should be legalized.

From the perspective of morality, Yes, certainly.

Once again:

Victimless crime -> Yes.
Your body -> Yes.

Conclusion -> Legalize it.

It is directed at those who make assumptions that those who use marijuana are lazy.


I know. It's an absurd mindset to have, but some have it. I just don't play nice with stupid. It's destroying this country.

I'm inclined to agree. Though it would be stupid for any individual state to keep it illegal.

I have seen the results of pot smoking and I can tell you, it does have an effect on your brain. I have seen kids so stoned out in school, they were like zombies. Really stupid. I saw members of my own family and close friends who lived to smoke pot, just like alcoholics lived for a drink.

Lets see how long this country lasts with most of the population is stoned. Just think, you can usually smell alcohol on someone or they slur their speech or stagger a little. A stoner is a little harder to spot but not much. The eyes, the blank, drugged out stare and the idiotic speech. Now we will have alcoholics and stoners out on the road, driving under the influence....
Oh my. Soooo much hyperbole and stereotypes in these 2 paragraphs.

And what research would that be? The same old BS propaganda that you prohibitionists cling to? No thanks! Some of us can actually think for ourselves.

Yes, I too find the war on weed to be quite immoral.

Yes of course we can find folks that live up to the "stoner stereotypes" but we are painting with an awfully broad brush here! Of course we can also find that people in all proffessions, doctors, lawyers, cops, judges, computer programmers smoke weed, and don't subscribe to the stereotypes. Not to mention some of the world's most influential people. I guess following your logic here folks like George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson were just a couple of burned out zombies, huh?
